About PommeCore
PommeCore is the full-featured companion app for MeshCore LoRa mesh radios — a decentralized, off-grid messaging network that works without internet, cell towers, or servers. Everything runs over long-range LoRa radio, directly between devices. MESSAGING Send and receive direct messages with real-time delivery tracking (Sending → Sent → Delivered, with round-trip time). Channel (group) messages broadcast to everyone on the mesh. Reactions and quoted replies are interoperable with MeshCore One. Undelivered messages retry automatically, then flood the mesh. CONTACTS & CHANNELS Organise contacts with favourites, nicknames, notes, and groups. Mute or block individuals. Each group and channel has its own notification mode and sound. Export and import contacts via QR code or meshcore:// URLs. MESH MAP See all contacts with GPS on an interactive map. Tap a pin to open that contact's chat. Enable position trails for movement history. The link quality overlay draws colour-coded lines (SNR) to contacts in range. RADIO SETTINGS & TOOLS Configure frequency, spreading factor, bandwidth, coding rate, and TX power from the app. Radio Stats, RF Monitor with Packet Log, Line of Sight analysis, Radio Calculator, Airtime Calculator, and Frequency Scanner are all included. BACKUP & UPDATES Export your radio configuration as a .meshprofile file. Firmware update checker alerts you when a new release is available. Over-the-air ESP32 firmware updates via WiFi. REMOTE MANAGEMENT Administer repeaters and room servers over the mesh — change names, frequencies, routing scope, and advert intervals without physical access. WIDGETS & WATCH Home screen and lock screen widgets show connection status, battery, and unread count. The watchOS companion lets you read and reply to DMs and channel messages from your wrist. iPHONE, iPAD & MAC One app runs natively on iPhone, iPad, and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). Connects via Bluetooth LE, WiFi, or USB serial on Mac. LANGUAGES English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Czech, Polish, Ukrainian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese. ACCESSIBILITY VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Differentiate Without Color Alone, Dark Mode, Voice Control. PRIVACY No account required. No servers. No data collection. All communication is peer-to-peer over LoRa radio. iCloud sync for nicknames, notes, groups, and settings uses your private iCloud account. HARDWARE REQUIRED A MeshCore-compatible LoRa radio running Companion firmware is required. Recommended: Compatible Mesh radio with latest MeshCore Companion firmware IN-APP PURCHASES Tip Jar ($0.99–$9.99) — voluntary support, no functional gating.

What’s new
Version 26.10.03 · Updated October 4, 2026
Contact safety • Deleting contacts in bulk is now recoverable. PommeCore saves a backup first, and you can restore it from Settings. If the backup cannot be saved, nothing is deleted. • Contact additions and removals are now checked against the radio and retried if the radio dropped them, instead of being assumed to have worked. Radio profiles • A saved profile can now carry your contact list, so a second radio can be set up for the same mesh. It is opt-in when you export and again when you import. • If the connection drops part-way through applying a profile, PommeCore now tells you which step it stopped at instead of reporting success. Firmware 1.17 • Support for the MCU temperature reading, nodes the radio has not yet identified, the CAD toggle and the boot reason. Fixes • Widgets now appear on iOS 18 and later. They were previously visible only on much newer versions. • Faster contact list on large meshes. • Many corrections across all 12 languages, including troubleshooting instructions that had lost their numbered steps.
